The San Francisco Giants' struggles continue, and it's not just the team's on-field performance that's got fans frustrated. In this episode, Kerry Crowley fills in for Murph, discussing the team's disappointing season and the pressure on President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey. The Giants are 14 games under .500, and it's clear that the team's struggles date back to the end of the Brian Sabean and Bobby Evans tenure. The conversation touches on the team's ownership, the lack of a rebuild, and the pressure on Posey to turn things around. The Giants have a winning tradition and a loyal fan base, but it's hard to ignore the fact that they've been stuck in a rut for years. The team's prospects are looking up, with a strong farm system and young players like Bryce Eldridge showing promise. However, it's unclear if the team's current management is doing enough to capitalize on this potential. The discussion also delves into the team's recent trades, including the Rafael Devers deal, and how it's affected the team's performance. The Giants' ownership has been criticized for not going over the luxury tax threshold in certain seasons, which has limited the team's ability to make big moves. It's clear that the team needs a change, but it's unclear if that change will come from within or from a new ownership group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guest: Larry Baer, CEO of the San Francisco GiantsIn 1992, Larry Baer was part of the ownership group that bought the San Francisco Giants and successfully prevented the team from being moved to Tampa, Florida. Back then, they had a big problem to solve: An old, uncomfortable ballpark that voters wanted to see replaced, but didn't want to pay for.20 years after the construction and financial success of Candlestick Park's replacement, Oracle Park, Baer — now the CEO of the Giants — embarked on an even bigger project, developing an entire neighborhood near Oracle called Mission Rock. “We're in the baseball business, but really, we're in the media, entertainment, sports, real estate business,” he says.

When interviewing Ned Colletti for my podcast I asked him what he hasn't done. The man has been part of management of three Major League teams, an NHL franchise, been a TV analyst, wrote a best selling book and teaches classes at Pepperdine University. All of this while Colletti tries to balance a a family including grandchildren while traveling from San Jose to Los Angeles and Phoenix. But what Colletti has proven during his remarkable career is he's a tireless but incredibly enthusiastic professional.The Chicago native began his career with the Cubs and ascended to PR director and contract negotiator. From there he became assistant General Manager of the San Francisco Giants, GM of the Los Angels Dodgers and eventually their TV analyst and currently his role with San Jose Sharks and Pepperdine. He's been involved with such luminaries as Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Harry Caray, Brian Sabean, Barry Bonds and Doug Wilson just to mention a few. Colletti might be most proud of giving the commencement speech at Pepperdine admitting he wasn't much of a student in high school. But he learned what it took be one of the tops at everything he did….and still does!Hear the show coming Tuesday!"Tell Me A Story I Don't Know" is part of the Last Word on Sports Media Podcast feed and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple, Spreaker, Spotify, Google, etc.!!
